EDITOR,
holes in order to reduce bud
get deficits, a 10 percent with
holding system was imposed
on individuals' earning inte
rest and divident income. The
Finance committee's ration
ale focused on these three
arguments:
1) Low income individuals
and 90 percent of our elderly
citizens would be exempt from
the requirement.
2) Withholding is not a new
tax - it merely speeds up the
collection of tax monies owed
to the government.
3) Efforts to increase re
venues should be concentrated
upon those who are avoiding
their obligations before new
taxes are raised. Thirty per
cent of the tax bill was target
ed towards improving compli
ance with existing tax laws by
corporations, partnerships
and individuals. Interest with
holding would raise $5.3 billion
by 1987 from improved com
pliance alone.
While these arguments may
make sense in theory, I am
concerned that the new law
excessively penalizes honest
taxpayers in order to catch the
cheaters. Moreover, interest
withholding is proving to be
counter-productive and ex
tremely costly to administer.
The proposal is an inefficient
way to raise revenue and I will
support its repeal. I believe we
must find other revenue
measures to replace the inte
rest withholding system.
Sincerely,
Mark O. Hatfield
United States Senator
